CylinderMesh
Inherits PrimitiveMesh
Class representing a cylindrical PrimitiveMesh.
Description
Class representing a cylindrical PrimitiveMesh. This class can be used to create cones by setting either the top_radius or bottom_radius properties to 0.0.
Properties
float bottom_radius = 0.5
float bottom_radius = 0.5Bottom radius of the cylinder. If set to 0.0, the bottom faces will not be generated, resulting in a conic shape. See also cap_bottom.
bool cap_bottom = true
bool cap_bottom = trueIf true, generates a cap at the bottom of the cylinder. This can be set to false to speed up generation and rendering when the cap is never seen by the camera. See also bottom_radius. Note: If bottom_radius is 0.0, cap generation is always skipped even if cap_bottom is true.
bool cap_top = true
bool cap_top = trueIf true, generates a cap at the top of the cylinder. This can be set to false to speed up generation and rendering when the cap is never seen by the camera. See also top_radius. Note: If top_radius is 0.0, cap generation is always skipped even if cap_top is true.
float height = 2.0
float height = 2.0Full height of the cylinder.
int radial_segments = 64
int radial_segments = 64Number of radial segments on the cylinder. Higher values result in a more detailed cylinder/cone at the cost of performance.
int rings = 4
int rings = 4Number of edge rings along the height of the cylinder. Changing rings does not have any visual impact unless a shader or procedural mesh tool is used to alter the vertex data. Higher values result in more subdivisions, which can be used to create smoother-looking effects with shaders or procedural mesh tools (at the cost of performance). When not altering the vertex data using a shader or procedural mesh tool, rings should be kept to its default value.
float top_radius = 0.5
float top_radius = 0.5Top radius of the cylinder. If set to 0.0, the top faces will not be generated, resulting in a conic shape. See also cap_top.
